The test raised a crash fault and handed the machine back with it still
standing. The engine trips the crash tier on one 1 Hz tick and ends the run
session on its next tick, which is when the fault and its hold clear ("head
crash fault cleared with the run session"). The supervisor has the new
controller up inside that second, and the test returned as soon as it saw
the new pid and the two log lines, so the runner's hand-back check could
read /cool/status before the clearing tick: phase run, hold true. A hold is
the run's doing by the baseline's rule, so the check recorded a leftover
and failed the test, though the wait that followed ended on its own.
Seen on the bench reference in campaign c-20260919202934-3d3a, the only
failure among 65 results: the trip at 20:54:44.871, the new controller at
20:54:45.094, the test's PASS line at 20:54:45, the session end at
20:54:45.863, and "cool=run/armed=False/hold=True ... -> waited" from the
hand-back check. The engine opened no session after that one; the 16 s the
check waited were the smoke phase that follows an armed session.
The test now asserts what the engine documents: after the restart checks it
waits up to 10 s for the verdict to leave CRASH, records how long that took
(fault_cleared_s) with the phase, verdict, hold and armed flags it found,
and fails when the fault does not end with the session. The machine is then
handed back in the engine's own post-job phase, which the baseline already
treats as the engine's work and not a leftover.
Proven: the cooling, artifact, campaign and queue host tests pass and the
catalog loads with the new source. No component source changed, so no pin
moves; the test's own source hash does, so its result comes from this
revision.
forgetest - the ForgeFIRM release acceptance tool
The daemon behind http://<machine>:8090/ on the dev image: runs the
acceptance catalog against the machine, keeps the append-only result log,
decides which results still apply to the image that is running, exports
the release artifact scripts/release.sh gates on, and serves the bench
diagnostics page. The contract - catalog, campaigns, fingerprints,
inheritance, the gate, the coverage rule - is
the Acceptance page of the documentation site.
Run the host tests
cd forgetest
python3 -m unittest discover -s tests -v
Run the daemon on a workstation (against a mock or a manifest file)
FORGETEST_DATA=/tmp/ft FORGETEST_MANIFEST=../tree-manifest.json \
FORGECTRL_URL=http://<machine> python3 -m forgetest --port 8090
scripts/manifest-from-tree.py produces tree-manifest.json from the recipe
pins; the coverage lint is python3 -m forgetest.coverage --manifest ....

Adding a test
Register it in the subsystem module under forgetest/suite/ with
@test(...): id subsystem.name, kind, hardware, mode (the controller
mode the test needs; the runner switches to it first), covers,
requires, always, steps. The body gets a Context (log, check, fail,
prompt, confirm, instruct, sleep, evidence, forgectrl, sysfs,
grbl, takeover). Return normally for PASS, raise runner.Failed for
FAIL. Then run the unit tests and the coverage lint.
